Very nice art work, sound effects all fixed up, nice and interesting story and gameplay - though it crashed on the portal (windows 10 64-bit) and sometimes the one-tile tunnel is not large enough to go through. Overall - well done!

Hey Gypsy! Chubb1337 here! ;) Your game turned out really nice buddy. I couldn't manage to finish your game, I somehow always fell in those nasty spikes at the bottem xD

Anyway, I also submitted mine, I started over this morning and just finished half an hour ago, damn these Jams are good for the productivity! Haha ^^

Take care!

I didn't recognize the spikes for what they are until I jumped in, haha.

i like it, the graphics looks very clean, i dig the pixelated graphics style, and the platformer gameplay
really bring me back to old days :D

Should have made it so that there was an alternate, much more intricate way of beating the game and keeping one fertilizer for the trophy on the title screen rather than give it to the player at the end.

Might not have been hard to pull off in 48 hours of course.

I tried to bring a bag of fertilizer to the menu screen, but alas... no holy grail for me!

And those moments when I think, "Oh, I'll just carry this fertilizer with me up the beanstalk." Go ahead and laugh at me... LOL.

I think I had a bug a couple of times (Windows) while I was climbing down the first beanstalk on the left (or second beanstalk in the stage), and I got teleported straight down somehow and landed in the spikes. Not sure exactly what it is. Maybe I'm slightly clipping the corner when it happens too?

Overall very polished! Well done, clever and challenging too!

That was a really, really tough puzzle. But finally did it!

Excellent graphics! Though I think that moving stones are confusing, and the game should be more fast-paced.
Also nice menu implementation! ;)

I loved the menu and that idea of growing a plant to move forward in the level, it makes a quite old and not-so-fresh genre interesting to play.

the jump and run mechanics are a bit hard but it's manageable, the puzzle elements well thought. overall this is a really good game. well done!!

Pretty fun to play but one error and you have to repeat all over again, but its one of those games that keeps you playing so I guess its fine, really cool game <3!!

Aargh, the graphics are so cute my head might implode :D

Controls nicely, idea is easily grasped, this is the stuff! I hope you continue developing this!

Art work and concept were great, as is common with your games, but the controls and physics that went with them were a little off. Otherwise, you have yourself here a potential winner! Nice job!
